Operation To Begin
ice Bowl 3
PHILADELPHIA — Operation Rice Bowl — a unique, interfaith program designed to help feed the world's starving — will be launched throughout the country on Mar. 3 (Ash Wednesday). American families are asked to pray a common prayer, give up for one meal the type of food pictured here and make an offering at their own dining room table to feed the millions who exist on the brink of starvation. Money saved by eating a sacrificial meal may be placed in specially provided "rice bowls" provided by many churches and synagogues.
The program was conceived last year in Allentown, Pa., by Protestant, Roman Catholic and Jewish clergymen. The national campaign this year, which is being sponsored by the Roman Catholic International Eucharistic Congress to be held in Philadelphia in August, is an outgrowth of that effort in which more than $100,000 was raised locally.
Suggested menus for Operation Rice Bowl include meals such as potato soup and a slice of bread, tuna fish salajl and pudding, spaghetti and tomato sauce and jello, and tomato soup and crackers.

Federation Sabbath Will Be Held
Federation Sabbath will take place on Friday and Saturday, Mar. 12 and 13, it was announced by Rabbi David Stavsky, Chairman of the Rabbinical Advisory Committee of the 1976 United Jewish Fund Campaign. "It is fitting and proper," said Rabbi Stavsky, "that Federation Sabbath be held on Shabbat Zachor, the Sab¬ bath of Remembrance, when we recall the tyrants — from Haman to Hitler T who have- attempted to destroy the House of Israel."
Federation Sabbath, an annual program of the Columbus Board of Rabbis, is designed to bring — in every Columbus synagogue —the message of the current UJF Campaign. "We are particularly mindful," said Rabbi Stavsky, "that this is a crucial year for Israel and
for world Jewry. Since the United Nations passed the despicable resolution equating Zionism with racism on Nov., 10, the Jewish people have been at¬ tacked constantly and viciously. Israel must be strengthened and the United Jewish Fund Campaign is the only total community vehicle we have to, do so, 1 urge all members of the Jewish community, on Shab¬ bat Zachor, to rededicate themselves to supporting and working for the United Jewish Fund Campaign."
Federation Sabbath will be commemorated in all Columbus synagogues, either in a sermon by the rabbi or in a guest pulpit ap¬ pearance by a leader of the congregation. Details will appear in the next issue of the Chronicle.
"Moderation" Image Of Palestine Liberation Organization In The U.S. Is Disappearing
By Joseph Polakoff
WASHINGTON (JTA) — Two nationally prominent U.S. Senators, both mem¬ bers of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who believed they saw the bloom of "moderation" on the Palestine Liberation Organization a year ago, are now disappointed with it. Statements by PLO leaders, before and after the Security Council debate on the Middle East last month have made it plain that the PLO's in¬ tention to bring about Israel's disappearance has not changed. The intense campaign by important politicians and media in the West to wrap the PLO in a cloak of respectability in the hope, analysts here believe, that encouragement from the West might induce the terrorists to become reasonable, has failed. Sen. Charles Percy (R: 111.) last winter angered many of his
constituents by implying Israel should deal with the PLO following his visit to the Middle East. On Feb. 19, however, after the PLO's leadership showed - no change of intent, he said: "I believe it is a terrible mistake for the PLO to rule out recognition of Israel because such an attitude is
counter-productive. Recogn¬ ition of Israel would have to be one condition of any future agreement for. the establishment of a Palestinian state;" Sen. George McGovern (D. S.D.) was hailed as a hero by the, PLO and its supporters for being the first high American official to speak!
with PLO chairman Yasir Arafat. A statement issued by his office Feb. 18 said: "In light of recent statemen¬ ts from some Palestinian leaders with opposition to eventual recognition of Israel by the Palestinians, Senator McGovern today reconfirmed his conviction

Israel Agrees To Return To Geneva
JERUSALEM (WNS) - Israel would agree to return to the Geneva conference on the basis of United Nations Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338 and with par¬ ticipation limited to the par¬ ties who attended the brief original session in December 1973, Foreign Minister Yigal Allon told visiting UN Un¬ dersecretary Roberto Guyer. The UN official is scheduled to visit Arab coun¬ tries to find out their position
Soviet Activist Criticizes Policies Of Ford, Kissinger
TEL AVIV (WNS) - The policies of President Ford and Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger on emigration from the Soviet Union has , led to increased pressures on Jews seeking to leave the USSR, according to Prof. Alexander Lunz, a leading Jewish activist from "Moscow. The 52-year-old mathematician made his charge as he arrived in Israel as part of a group of 100 Jews from the Soviet Union." Lunz, who received his exit visa after a four-year struggle, said "quiet diplomacy" brought no results while direct pressure did. He said that when Ford and Kissinger stated publicly that the Jackson Amendment was coun¬ terproductive in that it resulted in fewer Jews leaving the Soviet Union, they were making a dangerous allegation that was interpreted by the Soviet authorities as an in¬ centive-to increase pressure ' on Jews. Lunz, who arrived with his wife and 18-year-old son, said that last year there were 4000-5000 visa refusals. However, many of the per¬ sons who arrived with Lunz agreed with some Israelis that they were the vanguard of a new wave of im¬ migration from the USSR that was attributed to the recent Second World Con¬ ference on Soviet Jewry in Brussels. One of the new
arrivals was 101-year-old Rabbi Moshe Epstein, who once headed the Jewish com¬ munity in Leningrad and had been at one time exiled to Siberia for Zionist activities. Meanwhile, scientists from eight countries that at¬ tended the Brussels Con¬ ference have formed an In¬ ternational Federation of Concerned Scientists to be located in Paris which will gather and disseminate in¬ formation and will coor¬ dinate the activities of its af¬ filiates in various countries. The Federation will en¬ courage its affiliates to in¬ crease their efforts and ac¬ tivities on behalf of Soviet scientists who are denied fundamental scientific and personal rights. Dr. Polykarp Kush, a 1955 Nobel Prize winner in physics, said American scientists should think .twice before engaging in scientific exchange programs with the USSR sin¬ ce the Soviets interpret par¬ ticipation in such programs as a support of their repressive measures against dissident Soviet scientists. In New York, Josef Tekoah,- Israel's former Ambassador to the United Nations, said the Brussels" Conference will influence Soviet emigration policy. "The Soviet govern¬ ment has paid attention to in¬ ternational public opinion in the past on the question of Soviet Jewry," he said.
on reconvening the con¬ ference. Allon, meanwhile, said that the Israel Cabinet' has agreed to allowing the United States to sound out Egypt, Syria and Jordan about a non-belligerence treaty to see if the Arabs are willing to end the state of war. If the Arabs are willing to talk about ending the state of war, he said, only then would Israel be "required to discuss territorial "con¬ cessions. Government sour< ces indicated that the first "step is for " Israeli : and American legal experts to agree on a precise definition of end-of-war or non¬ belligerency and that such a definition would be sub¬
mitted to the Israeli Cabinet for approval.
Meanwhile the Cabinet's decision has been attacked on both the right and left. MK Yehuda Ben Meir of the National Religious Party has demanded an immediate dissolution of the Knesset and a new election. David Koren, of the Labor Party's Rafi wing, demanded that Premier Yitzhak Rabin ex¬ plain the decision to Labor's Knesset faction "so I can know if Tarn for it or against it." Former Foreign Minister Abba Eban .and others have warned that the Arabs would demand as much for non-belligerency

NEW YORK (WNS) — The University of Haifa will hold a conference — the first ever held anywhere in the world — on all aspects of the Palestinian problem, it was announced here by its president, Eliezer Rafaeli. He said leading experts have been invited to attendjn- cluding those in the Arab world and ;'we hppe they come." Rafaeli said that whether or not one believes there is such a thing as a Palestinian people, "there are people who call themselves Palestinians'-' and they must be dealt with. "If we as Zionists: assumed the responsibility to decide the future of; the State of Israel," the 50-year^)ld Tel Aviv-born university president said,- "we also have the responsibility to discuss the Arab problem." :•
/ WASHINGTON (WNS) — Former Pennsylvania Governor William W. Scranton has been officially nominated by President Ford to; replace Daniel P. Moynihan as Ajnbassador to tKeUnjted Nations.''I am a Pat Moynihan fan and delighted the way he handled" the UN post, Scranton said. In 1968 Scranton was sent by then President-elect Nixon to the Middle East and returned urging the U.S. to pursue a "more even- handed policy'' in the region. v
NEW YORK (WNS) — The National Coalition for Public Education and Reiigious Liberty (PEARL) and a group of taxpayers have filed a suit to enjoin city and federal educational authorities from assigning public school teachers to remedial education duties at religious schools during regular school hours. The suit named as defendents, Irving Anker, Chancellor of the New York City school system; F. David Matthews, Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, and U.S. Education Commissioner Torrell H. Bell. The suit was immediately attacked by Dr. Bernard Fryshman, chairman of the Agudath Israel of America's com¬ mission on legislative and civic action; who said the suit was "a deplorable attempt to deprive poor hand¬ icapped children of corrective and remedial services so that they should not go through their lives hand¬ icapped."
